UPDATED: PALM BEACH, FL. TRAVEL GUIDE
This past week Ryan and I took a long weekend trip to Palm Beach, Florida (PS- Just to catch you up, Ryan and I have been dating for over 6 months now! I just realized I haven’t written a blog post in a while. He is truly my best friend and I am over the moon happy!!!) Anyways, this is seriously one of my very favorite places to travel and has been for as long as I can remember. Getting to visit with Ryan was extremely special. Palm beach is so unbelievably beautiful and there is so much to do! Since it had been a while since my last visit to Palm Beach, I wanted to pack in all the things while we were there. Since I did quite a bit of research before this vacation, I’ve put together this travel guide to share all the helpful details on where we stayed, where to eat and what to do. I’m also including everything I wore + all of my outfit details below each photo!
Where we stayed?
For the first night of our trip we stayed at a family friends property. I can’t share the specific details unfortunately but this is a personal home and not available for rentals anyways. For the rest of the trip we stayed with my Nana who lives in Jupiter - She was sweet enough to let us crash at her newly renovated home. We stay with her every time we are in town and she is the main reason we come and visit this area - I just love spending time with her and getting to visit her sweet self!! I definitely don’t get to see her enough!
Other Recommended Places to Stay:
The Colony Hotel
The Breakers
EAU Palm Beach
White Elephant
The Brazilian Court Hotel
The Ben - Autograph Collection
Where to eat (& drink).
PALM BEACH-
Lola41: Located at the White Elephant Hotel. Definitely ask to sit outside on the patio, it’s gorgeous! The Crab Rangoons, Tuna Nachos, Spicy Margarita and sushi are all a MUST TRY! This was our favorite dinner in Palm Beach.
Swiftys: Restaurant at The Colony Hotel. Ask to sit outside by the pool, it’s truly such a dream out there. This is seriously the most instagrammable spot probably in all of Palm Beach. You must try the Pink Paradise drink it was AMAZING!
Henry’s: We went here for dessert and drinks after dinner. We ordered the creme brûlée and espresso martinis which had GOLD beans! Such a cute spot and so yummy.
Restoration Hardware Flagship Location: We stopped here for a drink (I love the Bellini here) but the food is also fabulous. Plus it’s so fun to explore the many floors of fabulous decor!!
Seafood Bar at The Breakers: We went here for cocktails and had an amazing view of the beach and ocean. The coolest part about this spot is the bar is an aquarium! So you can sip cocktails while fish swim right underneath you. So fun!!
Cafe Des Artistes: If you want to venture outside of Palm Beach to Jupiter this French Bistro is a must! The French Onion Soup was one of the best I’ve ever had and the salmon was delicious. Ask to sit outside on the water and watch all the boats go by!
Pizza Al Fresca: We didn’t make it here during our trip but I heard the pizza is amazing if you’re looking for a more casual option. Also heard it’s a super instagrammable spot for photos!
Bice Ristorante: Yummy Italian food! The outside of the restaurant is so cute for photos.
Buccan: A MUST!! Make sure to make a reservation ahead of time.
Cafe Boulud: Super cute restaurant inside of The Brazilian Court Hotel!
Ta-Boo: Located on Worth Avenue. We stopped here for a bite to eat while shopping! The decor inside is absolutely stunning!!
Buccan: I really wanted to try this tapas spot but it’s one of the most booked & busy places in the area. Get reservations far in advance if you can!!

TAP TO SHOP THIS WHITE SUN DRESS
What to do.
PALM BEACH-
SHOP TILL YA DROP: No, but seriously. Palm Beach has the absolute best shopping and I was in complete Heaven. My favorite spots are the Gardens Mall and Worth Avenue (for window shopping, because I can’t afford anything there…ha!)
Beach + Pool: This is a given, but Palm Beach has some of the most incredible beaches and pools. We went to the beach near Worth Avenue, on Juno Beach and also on Singer Island. The weather was unreal during our trip and we were sure to soak up all the rays!! Wear lots of sunscreen because it’s easy to burn here, the sun hits different in Palm Beach (we definitely got a little too red during our trip)!
Take Photos: Palm Beach is seriously so picturesque and there is truly a photo op around every corner. The area around Worth Avenue is probably one of my favorite places to shoot photos. There you will find some of the cutest neighborhoods and the most beautiful flower covered walls!
Drink + Eat: This is obviously a given. See my list above for all my recommendations! I always love eating and drinking my way through vacay.
DAY TRIP TO MIAMI- If you have enough time it’s always fun to visit Miami for the day since it’s only an hour-ish away!
The Design District: This is by far the coolest part of Miami. The Design District is filled with the most amazing architecture, lots of art, incredible shopping, restaurants + more!
South Beach: Walk around and have a beach day in South Beach. This is a super upscale part of town that you have to experience for yourself. You’ll have so much fun hanging by the pool, strolling the beach, and exploring the area.
